In Cincinnati and the surrounding areas, there are many little restaurants, cafes, and bakeries that serve up amazing specialty items. These are recipes you can’t find everywhere, but are worth seeking out for a bite of homemade, flavorful goodness. If you are a fan of cannoli and have always wished our city had a place where you could find both traditional and unique flavors, then you are in luck! Del Gardo’s is a fantastic Italian bakery that opened in Covington this year and you can bite into the best cannoli in Cincinnati at this charming new spot.
Steve Del Gardo is living out his dream of bringing his specialty cannoli to our city with the opening of the Italian bakery, Del Gardo's. While it's not a typical retail bakery, there are still many opportunities for you to sample his wonderful creations.
Del Gardo's is located alongside many other sought-after dining destinations in Covington, inside a historic building that has a modern makeover. The interior space, as well as Steve himself, are warm and welcoming.
While Steve is typically at the bakery daily making cannoli, he usually focuses only on special orders. The bakery itself is usually open on Friday and Saturday evenings from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., and you can stop in for cannoli and socializing. Follow along on Facebook (linked below) for the most up-to-date information on hours.
The cannoli created at Del Gardo's are nothing like what you've tasted before. You'll find a mix of handcrafted traditional flavors as well as creative takes on this classic dessert. The Amaretto Cannoli, shown below, is delightful.
The seasonal flavors are always a hit, and you'll also find options like French Toast, Bourbon, Reese's Peanut Butter, and much more. You can order these cannoli by emailing Steve through the website linked below. They are perfect for special occasions, as gifts, or if you're just in the mood for something sweet and special.
Del Gardo's also distributes cannoli to regional restaurants. One place you can usually find them is Peppe Cucina in Covington, shown below. As the business grows, you're bound to find these cannoli in even more places around Cincinnati.
But for starters, follow Del Gardo's on Facebook and stop in during their open hours on the weekends. Have a cup of coffee, enjoy a cannoli, and experience this charming new bakery in our Cincinnati area.
